Also curious to hear, does everyone else's HP IR receiver have a red light on the front that flashes? I do not even have my remote yet to configure... but when it is seeming to sit idle there is a red light blinking. It seems like some sort of activity light.

OOO! I know. Placing the receiver near my tv also gave it interference, because the receiver is so SUPER sensitive. The fix from the forum is some sort of black tape that greatly cuts down on interference.

Thanks for the tip! I will have to experiment. I wonder if the Plasma causing the light to flicker actually causes problematic interference or if most people want to solve the problem because the flickering light is annoying.

Since PoofyHairGuy sadly seems to be MIA (hopefully he is on a vacation and enjoying himself)... I was hoping someone could graciously point me in the right direction for mapping and configuring my Harmony One with the HP IR receiver.

I have looked at countless configuration threads and am experiencing information overload. It is hard to decipher what I should be doing, as some threads are extremely detailed and dive into editing files and configurations... each of these threads is unique and none of them really agree on standard practices.

I know this is very difficult due to the level of customization and detail which these remotes can be configured. I was hoping someone could help me get going in the right direction. Poofy made it seem like most of the configuration was done on the Logitech software and minimal work was needed on the HTPC (manually configuring map files).

I am using OpenELEC and I did figure this out... and I actually started writing a complete guide to the process I took on the OpenELEC forum.

You can check out this guide. Most of the concepts will apply directly to configuring the remote for XBMC.

Let me know what you think! It walks through from the beginning (configuring Harmony Remote using Logitech Software) to the end... but it is still a work in progress and I need to add more information for tweaking remote settings and adding custom actions.
